Describe the Scenario

Hi,

I've been using bookstack for a long time. Recently, I came across a problem where after saving the document on the page, the '+' sign is not visible. The sign is visible when I edit the document and the search engine sees it because when I enter '+' in the search field, the system will indicate the document that contains it.

Have any of you encountered this problem? I am asking for help in solving it or a hint in which files I can look for a solution to the problem.
I attach photos with a graphic description of the problem.

Regards!

Hi @alabastrowa,
This is not something I can reproduce on our demo instance which runs the latest version.
I'd guess this issue is only relevant to an older version of BookStack and has since been addressed, or it's an issue specific to your environment.

If you upgrade to use the latest version, and the issue persists, I can help in diagnosing the potential issue further but I otherwise don't support older versions.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. And is it possible for me to test install the bookstack version that I have, i.e. v21.12.1 without any modifications? I would like to compare the files on the new machine with what I have at home to find differences.
Unfortunately, I cannot find v21.12.1 online. Maybe you own it and it would be possible for you to share it with me?

Regards.

@alabastrowa I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying to see if your version has modifications? Is so, and you followed our general install guidance originally, your instance should be managed via git. You could run git status to show any changes that have been made to core app files.

Otherwise, you can get a download of the v21.12.1 files from the bottom of this release page, if that's what you're asking for.
Note: You should not install from a ZIP or plain files, you should manage the codebase via git otherwise updates will be difficult.

So how well do I understand the following files in the source code (zip) will allow me to install bookstack v21.12.1?

Sorry, I still don't really understand.
I do not advise installing/updating via ZIPs of source code. Unless using container-based options, installs should be managed via git as per our official documentation/guidance.

Since there's been no further follow-up, I'll go ahead and close this off.
